is it better to study in a college or in a private centre?

[Miguel36]

Good evening ladies and gentlemen!

Like many people, I want to change my career and I have been doing quite a lot of research and I end up with this dilema.
Is it better to do a one year package in a private center that includes:
-C&G 2365-02: Level 2 Diploma in Electrical Installations
-C&G 2365-03: Level 3 Diploma in Electrical Installations
-BS 7671 – 18th Edition: IET Building Services Regulations

Or is it better to go to The College of Haringey, Enfield and north east London, part of Capital City College Group for a 1 year course Level 1 Diploma (12517) ??

I know it might be a silly question but in my current situation I dont know what to do, I really want to learn the best way possible. So any opinion will be more than welcome and of course much appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time of reading my comment!!

Level 1 is the very basic, most start at level 2 and progr as from there. Many centres (colleges at least) are dropping 2365 in favour of 8202, which as I understand is better as it has an aspect of industrial placement but with COVID about God knows how that is going to work.

I did my level 2 2365 diploma last year moving on to my level 3 2365 this year both of these done in college so 2 years!! And I’m doing my 18th edition and 2391 privately then I will be combining the 2 diplomas in to an NVQ level 3 with an AM2 assessment at the end of it! It’s a long road but that’s the best way to get proper training and experience!
